I just tried a few recordings with mencoder, and the files are about the 
same size as those from ffmpeg, but I think they are better quality when 
played on the Palm with TCPMP (might be because they are mpeg4).

And it IS faster, even on my 2.2GHz Sempron, I get 40+ fps.  Anything 
better than real time, I am happy with. :-)
